I need more than five stars to rate how much I love Hill House, and there aren't enough stars in the universe to how much love I have for the people who run it, as well as all of the people who work with them. From the moment we arrived we felt so welcome. When we got to our lovely room Nu had arranged the sweetest message for my partner's birthday, which was beautifully written on a leaf. The room was perfect, the view just stunning, and our stay just got better when we had our first breakfast. Every day you get sticky rice and mango, which is delicious. Then, you also get a choice of various pancakes, or eggs, fried, poached, scrambled, an omelette, or boiled. We're not done yet, you also get your choice of fruit smoothie (I recommend the coconut, but they're all good). And, you can help yourself to toast and tea/coffee. We also booked a boat trip, which was brilliant, and came with an amazing lunch (see photo). And, we hired a moped, which only cost 200 bht, plus a litre of fuel. I highly recommend this, so you can see as much as lively island as possible. I'm not confident on a moped, but the roads are very quiet. If you've read this far, you must be interested, so please stay here, you will not regret it. …

Me and my daughter had a fantastic stay at the Hillhouse! Raw and Don are amazing hosts, we had tasty breakfasts and a quiet bungalow with an amazing view! The island itself is not touristy at all, has amazing friendly people and some nice spots to explore! See you again and thanks for everything! Els and Merel

This place is unbelievable. We were picked up at the pier for free and taken to our beautiful bungalow with the most amazing view and the comfiest mattress I’ve ever slept on. We were handed the key to a moped to drive during our stay (after thankfully being shown how to drive by the lovely hosts) and the next day we were handed a kayak to explore the island by sea. Each morning we were greeted with pancakes and banana smoothies to start our day which the hosts wouldn’t take any money for. This place really is a gem and I can’t rate it highly enough. We had booked to stay two places on the island and wish we could have just stayed on at Hillhouse when it was time to move. They even left us to our next hotel! The most beautiful island, bungalow and people you will meet. We loved our stay and I’m sure you will too. The easiest way to book is through their website. Thank you for an amazing stay!!…

It's the perfect place to relax. The view oft he sunrise is sensational. The friendly owner couple are very helpful with tips and recommendations. The best option to discover the island is by scooter or bicycle, which are available for rent at the resort.

Houses are really great and we recommend everyone to stay here! they are decorated with taste, are very intimate and surrounded by beautiful plants which ensures privacy and comfort. The hotel is run by extremely friendly people who will help in dealing with every case - starting with giving advice what to see on the island, by organizing transport and doing laundry.

We spent 5 nights at Hill House in February 2020. Our bungalow (Glang 2) had a terrific view over the bay and the limestone islands. A hammock on the veranda made sure we could spend many hours gazing at that view. Breakfasts were lovely - mango sticky rice with another little treat each morning followed by fruit, toast and coffee. We also had evening meals there as they were so nice. The owners arranged a fantastic trip round the islands for us as well as hiring out bikes which we used to visit different parts of the islands. A wonderful stay in a wonderful location. Highly recommended

Four Years ago we were here for 5 days and because we loved it so much with Don and Raw, their very nice place and the island (and surroundings!) we wanted to come back. This year we did and it was fantastic again. We had the Yai bungalow with a great view, very nice to leave the doors open at night (during daytime also actually, this is possible here!). But their other bungalows are very good also. The bungalow is very clean and the bed has a good mosquito net. The terrace is huge with a nice hammock and a place to sit, and again this beautiful view. One of our days we saw three hornbills just in front of our terrace, what an experience! It is very nice to lay in your hammock and see the beautiful sunrise (okay you have to be awake early for this, but if you are, enjoy it!). With the two fans (one fixed at the ceiling near the bed and the other replaceable) you do not need aircon. The bed is very soft, especially for Thai standards, and the mattress has two sides (one more soft than the other). Don and Raw are very, very friendly people who do all their best to help you in anyway, transport, boat tours, nice places to go to (also spa's and fishfarms), hiring motorbike, splendid food, nice talk. We had a very good breakfast also and I always remember the sticky rice with mango, so delicious. And even better enjoying breakfast and dinner with the view you have here at the Andaman sea and the islands in front of you.…

We had such great memories from Hill House that we came back to after two years. Our comment from that time is more than ever accurate: “We can only agree with previous comments: this a great place to relax. Our bungalow was spacious, comfortable and very clean. The view is stunning (you can even enjoy it form the hammock!). Don and Raw are genuinely friendly and helpful. Raw is a great cook, her food is amazing. We also did the boat trip with Don: it is one of our best memories from Thailand. (No need to worry about transportation: you can rent scooters and bicycles on-site.)” The only changes from our previous visit are the trees (they are bigger) and the improvement of wifi.

We stayed at Hill House for 2 nights in October 2019. As soon as we arrived the owners (whose names I shamefully don’t know) were so helpful and so friendly. A disclaimer would be that if you are a bit squeamish with bugs or nature then maybe this isn’t the accommodation for you. However, it makes a lovely change from built up hotels or hostels and you really do feel a part of the jungle almost. The bungalow was beautiful and very clean, and the bed comfy. We hired a moped from Hill House for 24 hours for 250B. I was pretty nervous about hiring as I hadn’t ridden a scooter before however the owners gave me a little lesson before we had to commit. I would recommend hiring a moped for the island as it is quite far to walk the distances but quick to drive. Honestly such friendly people and a lovely stay where nature is very much included!…
